White women have to think about their privilege just like white men or else we’re just creating more problems. If your feminism isn’t fucking intersectional then I want no part of it. So kindly find someone else.

So it seems clear that Jezebel’s main audience is, in a typical move, vilifying this black man when if anything can be clear, it’s that both of their behavior was inappropriate and abusive. How white, predictable, and annoying as fuck. Do you have any slight idea how many white women have lied on black men and ruined…

Yeah, I’m sure you can understand why your original post inspired my ire. “YA crap about struggling LGBT teens.” Sorry, not sorry.

I’m sorry that you didn’t like my tone, but you could’ve done your own research when you read what I said. It’s easy to look up the NYT Best Seller’s lists.

Also honestly, this belies your ignorance about the genre. Printz winners/honors tend to sell really well. The whole gate keeper thing in kids lit means that the more awards, the more buzz/starred reviews these books are getting, the more they’re going to be ordered and pushed by booksellers and librarians. I find…

And yet, you ignore the fact that the men are all outselling the women. Strange.

I’m not assuming anything, I’m going off of the words of many agents on twitter who took issue with the article. I have many friends who’ve interned at agencies, you’re not telling me anything revelatory. I didn’t mention fair at all. But generally start with the oldest first so that there aren’t long weeks of time…

So I’ve heard from many a working agent since this was posted that it’s simply just not logistically possible? Like 90% of agents are only working on their queries monday-friday, and NOT on Saturdays as a general rule. And NOBODY gets query responses that quickly. Only if you’re sending to really, really young agents…

The idea that female writers have a leg up on male writers in YA is a FUCKING MYTH AND I AM SO SICK OF IT. Look at the NYT Best Seller’s list: dominated by men. Look at the most influential YA award, the Printz, DOMINATED by male authors. No, take this somewhere else because it is simply a delusion.

I think it was only framed as an "Ex-gf" song once they broke up. There's only a few lyrics that make it about an ex. The only ex that he's written about before seemed to be this nice girl Ashley that he grew up with...

Y'all are joking. Big Sean is fairly attractive and it's a known thing that he's got the..."messiah", as they say. But I don't think that's what sent Naya over the edge. I generally doubt that they broke up because of Lea. Seems like they broke up because she was crazy? I mean she did get married on the same date she…

I also think Illamasqua has a white base for mixing.

Don't sad face! I wish I didn't have the image of the current Riff Raff in my head. He makes me want to vomit.

Reminder: RL Stine will be at the Brooklyn Book Fest this year!

Ah yeah, but I think the only reason the sexy school girl thing persists is because of the underlying illusion of virginity. I feel like Britney's virginity was a big thing - disturbingly enough - like it was a big story when she slept with JT.

Aren't you forgetting Britney, especially during that first album era?

Grow up.

Honestly I'd be pretty pissed if my husband was speaking publicly about women he had previously slept with. And a married one at that. Disrespectful on both sides.

Is anyone on earth surprised by this???????

Exactly. Am I supposed to be upset when that she hired dancers of color? I was actually pleased to see the mix of races among all the scenes.
